Heating System Multiwell Plate – Silver Line 5 Operation Before starting an experiment, check that the ibidi Heating System Multiwell Plate fits on your mi- croscope stage, and that your cell culture vessels are compatible with the Holder. Connect all parts (Section 5.1) and perform a temperature adjustment as explained in Section 5.4.
5.2 Start Operation of the ibidi Heating System Multiwell Plate The ibidi Temperature Controller – Silver Line is switched on by the dip switch at the back. Make sure the display shows “RUN” (see Section 5.3.1). The system immediately starts heating up the heated devices (Heated Plate, Heated Lid).
Depending on the heated components used, different connector ports (output channels) at the back of the ibidi Temperature Controller – Silver Line can be used (Table 4). Accordingly, the information of one, two, or three heated components with the designations Plate, Lid, Glass or Obj is shown per display.
“Setup” entry and pressing the round button. The mode dialog will open. Mode Each channel of the ibidi Temperature Controller – Silver Line can be set to an “On” or “Off” state. For standard operation all channels must be turned on.
Heated Plate. To ensure that the sample reaches the correct temperature, ibidi recommends a temperature adjustment step before starting the first experiment. The temperature adjustment should also be done separately for each chamber type used.

2. Connect the external temperature sensor (thermocouple type K) to the plug at the back of the ibidi Temperature Controller – Silver Line. The connected external temperature sensor will appear in the display. 3. Fill the provided culture vessel (multiwell plate) with water or medium. Volumes should be the same amount you need for your experiments.

7 Maintenance 7.1 Disinfection and Cleaning The heated components and the ibidi Temperature Controller – Silver Line do not have to be sterile, because the incubation chamber has no direct contact with the cells and the cell culture medium. If disinfection is necessary for some reason, we recommend using isopropanol (70%) or common lab disinfection solutions based on quaternary ammonium compounds (e.g., Barrycidal 36 or Pharmaci-...
Depending on the incubating conditions, small volumes might evaporate quickly, especially during long-term experiments. If you have an actively controlled humidifying device (e.g., ibidi Gas Incu- bation System), increase the set value for relative humidity. Additionally, we suggest using silicone oil (e.g., Anti-Evaporation Oil, ibidi, 50051) to decrease evaporation.
